[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 5113923, member: 2020"] Industrial Revolution. It was a question of mine in 2000, and it basically went like this: What would you do, if Gnomes invented the Industrial Revolution on Toril? I detailed that the gnomes of Lantan had gone through the Renaissance and Enlightenment, created a melding of technology and magic, known as Technomancy, and now many lands were trying to take advantage of this new concept. Nations that quickly jumped on the new idea of Technomancy were Amn, Tethyr, Calimshan, the Vilhon Reach area, Chondath, Uther (sp?), Thay, and Thesk. Nations north of there, such as Baldur's Gate, Westgate, Waterdeep, and Cormyr, had not yet shown an interest in the goings on. Nations to the south, such as those in the Chult area, Dambrath, and Var the Golden, also had overlooked the new developments. The question assumed that suddenly everyone was paying attention at last, as it were. So, I asked, what would they - as individuals or nations, or just as individual characters run by the player - do, in reaction to this development? It was just a question asked in humor, and all I expected was a minor response, if any. However, the response was a little bigger than minor. The rest is history. If the Admins can provide a link, you can go to the 1st IR thread, and have a look for yourself. It should still be there, near the very beginning of the historical log of ENWorld. [/QUOTE]
